Hi all,
I'm looking for a graduate school ( a little early, Fall 98) and I was
wondering if anyone knows of a place that includes most or all of the
following :)
1. Good facilities (kilns, etc.)
2. Studio space
3. Teaching assistantships/stipends
4. Faculty that are open-minded and give formal critiques (critique the
carrying out of an idea, not the idea itself)
Sounds like heaven, I know, but I'm sure that it's somewhere out there!
Oh, and nix on Washington State University. I'm doing my undergrad work
there :)

meets the above 4 requirements and then some. Cant say enough good about it.
E. Taylor (head of ceramics there) is a wonderful teacher. My 2 cents.

Hello there little icon-person:
If you're heading to NCECA this year why not stop in on my
break-out session (aka Rash Discussions or the Acne Talks) entitle
"MFA --huh!--WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?" wherein I'd like to lead a discussion
on the whole grad school scene: from app process to why do we need them
at all? I'm not exactly sure of the day/time (at a guerrila computer,no
refs nearby) but check your program. Hoping for some pros and cons on
this banter.
See you?

Hello, I hope someone out there can help me with some information on
Universities offering Graduate Programs in Ceramics. I have been potting and
teaching high school art for over 20 years and decided it is time to go back
to school. My work is more vessel oriented than sculptural and I am
interested in wood, salt and soda firings. I am very excited about the
chance to learn and work on new ideas and in a new direction. It has been
some time since I have be in the academic milieu and if anyone has any ideas
or suggestions of how to go about it in the most expedient way, I would
appreciate it very much.

I would urge you to try Penn State University in Central PA under Chris
Staley and Liz Quackenbush. They give private/semiprivate grad studio's with
doors and locks, have 5 indoor gas kilns 3 large electrics, an anagama that
shares a stack with a salt kiln, They also have a 2 chamber noborigama
with a soda chamber. There is a full wood and metal shop available to all
the students in the art department, and the last time I checked, all common
materials were included in tuition. There is also a good chance that you
would be able to secure a tuition waver and stipend for acting as an
assistant.
PSU is also within an hours drive of at least four wood kilns,
including Jack Troy's at Juniata College in Huntington PA.
Penn State has a webpage at http://www.psu.edu check them out!
